Right, so
you might be thinking of working in a plush resort in Lonavala. You have applied for a number of hotel management courses in Pune. But
then tragedy strikes. With a number of copies of prospectus from different
institutes strewn around you, it is hard to pick the right course. Relax; sit back as we describe for you some of
the criteria for choosing a hotel and hospitality management course!

To put it
simply, on a platter, while choosing a course, the most important
considerations are the cost, the degree/certification, the syllabus, the
credibility of faculty, placement assistance and your convenience.

1. Cost
and Course Offering are perhaps the most important aspects while picking
one course over another, whether you want to work in resort in Lonavala or in
Austrian countryside. Obviously if the course is beyond your budget, you would
not go for it. Likewise, if the course does not offer the subjects you are
looking for, it will be a useless exercise to pursue the course.

2. Faculty members are another crucial
factor while learning hospitality management services. Make sure that
the faculty is experienced. Moreover, if the faculty is from diverse
backgrounds, it is even better, as that exposure is passed onto the students.

3. Placement
Assistance is generally offered by reputed institutes. But it is better to
make sure if the institute has that. If not that, would the department at least
help in networking? Make sure. This is important because be it resort in
Lonavala, or Alibaug or any other, you
would hit a dead end owing to lack of contacts and networking.

4. Timings
of the course even though a minor aspect, do matter. Pick the course which
offers you convenient batch timings. You wouldn't want to miss out on classes
between 10am and 1 pm, if you are working full time, right?

Keeping
these things in mind and going for the right course will take you places far away
and better than resort in Lonavala! All the best!
